summary, version, milestone changed

summary Double-quoted arguments including spaces can't be used with Boost.Test. → Double-quoted arguments including spaces are divided by Boost.Test.
version Boost 1.40.0 → Boost 1.41.0
milestone Boost 1.41.0 → Boost 1.42.0

I wrote a test program and fixed the problem, though I don't know whether the problem is really a bug or not.

Test Program:

#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
using namespace boost;
using namespace boost::unit_test;
test_suite* init_unit_test_suite(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  cout << argc - 1 << endl;
  for(int i = 1; i < argc; ++i)
    cout << argv[i] << endl;
  return 0;
}

Compile it into test.exe and run it as

test "first second"

, and then you'll get a result such as:
2
first
second

After patching:
1
first second
